1 8 ROMANTIC CITY (CL023) T H So -- Sent forward as expected, travelled well in the lead, kicked nicely clear early straight, maintained momentum to the line, never in danger.
2 11 BUNDLE OF LOVE (N324) D Whyte P Held up midfield along the inside, ran on reasonably well final 300M but never looked like reeling in the winner.
3 1 CHARITY SPIRIT (M095) T Angland TT Slightly slow away, turned 3-wide 500M and soon bustled along, kept on steadily over final 300M.
4 10 HAWTHORNE (CL136) C W Wong -- Up with early pace, held back slightly to race in 4th turning for home, stayed on but lacked pace to seriously challenge.
5 9 SIR EAGLES (M403) U Rispoli B Held up towards the rear, made steady progress final 200M and was gaining on the principals nearing the finish.
6 5 WINDICATOR POWER (CL424) C Y Ho TT Began awkwardly, raced in midfield about 6Ls off the pace, stayed on mildly.
7 7 AMEDEO (CK292) M L Yeung V-/TT Chased leading pair but couldn't find extra to challenge inside 300M, weakened final 100M.
8 2 CHOICE TREASURE (N436) Z Purton TT Dropped back to near last, had plenty to do turning in, headway inside 300M but was held up over final 150M, not properly tested.
9 6 GROOVY (CL401) G Mosse -- Caught racing wide without cover in midfield, ran on one-paced final 300M over this unproven trip.
10 12 SUPER GOAL ELITE (N420) H W Lai TT Driven forward to race outside leader, drifted out rounding the turn, weakened and no extra final 200M.
11 3 FUJIAN SPIRIT (N397) K C Ng H1 Restrained from a wide gate to settle well back, 10Ls down turning for home, made no real progress.
12 4 SUPER PLUS (CJ090) K C Leung -- Raced in midfield along the 3-path, under serious pressure turning for home, soon beaten, eased mid-straight. (Jockey said his horse never travelled at any stage.)
